Continuing Catechetical Formation

Faith Formation is a life long process for each of us. We do however, have a program in place that will help form you, our Catechists, in the teachings of the Church. There are three parts to the program: Basic & Intermediate Catechetical Training and Master Catechist Certification.  This program is based on an individual’s pace or can be accelerated should you so desire. Prior coursework will be considered upon request and evaluation. All Catechists at St. Ann are encouraged to participate .

For required courses descriptions visit the Diocesan Website: http://cathdal.org/files/Continuing_Catechetical_Formation_(CCF)_Handbook_(1).pdf

The plan is to have courses taught at St. Ann so that an individual could complete all programs in 5 years.  Classes will be held  in May/June, October and January/February of each year.  More classes may be scheduled depending on demand.

The schedule for the remainder of this year  is as follows. These classes are open to all in the Parish unless otherwise noted and meet the requirements towards Catechetical Certification as required by the Dioceses of Dallas.                                          

 

Christology: Course 503

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Who do you say that I am? This is a fundamental question not only because its context in the Gospel, but for the very fact that the Church has been answering the question right from the beginning defending and teaching Jesus’ humanity and divinity; expressing its truth through Ecumenical Councils, Tradition, the teachings of the Church, images and faith truths around Jesus’ life, passion, death and resurrection. A fascinating course that presents the origins and developments of the Theology about Jesus Christ, true God and true Man.

    CCF Class 501:Church History

 

      Church History illustrates how a community, guided by the Holy     Spirit, has evolved throughout the centuries. These events and actions are filled with joy and sorrow that remember an essential truth for us: We are the Mystical Body of Christ in human history, in the struggle to remain faithful to the Gospel, and to see ourselves as the mustard seed that should grow and bear fruit.
